Shao Tianze took the phone from the servant and said, "Hello."
The person on the other end said something.
Shao Tianze immediately frowned.
Shao Xue carefully observed Shao Tianze's expression. Before Shao Tianze's eyes turned to her, she looked away and looked at Miaomiao.
"Wait a minute. I'll call you back. I'm a bit busy now."
Shao Tianze nodded and hung up the phone.
Shao Xue didn't ask who called Shao Tianze.
Instead, Shao Tianze asked Shao Xue after hanging up the phone, "Do you know anyone from the Luo Family in Harbor City?"
Shao Xue felt relieved. It was indeed someone from the Luo Family.
Although she felt relieved, she didn't show it on her face. She just said confusedly, "No, I don't. What's wrong, brother?"
Shao Tianze shook his head, "Nothing. I'll go to the study first. Tell the servant to prepare dinner when you and Miaomiao are hungry."
"OK." Shao Xue nodded.
Shao Tianze got up and left the living room. Then he went to the study to call Luo Jiachi back.
It was not appropriate to talk about Shao Xue's marriage with Luo Jiachi in the living room. If Shao Xue knew that he used her as a bargaining chip, Shao Xue would be unhappy.
After Shao Tianze called, Luo Jiachi picked up the phone after it rang a few times.
"What do you think, Mr. Shao?"
Luo Jiachi got straight to the point and asked Shao Tianze what he thought.
Shao Tianze said, "This is my sister's marriage. I have to ask her about it."
Luo Jiachi nodded, showing his understanding, "That's right. After all, she is a girl. She should choose carefully."
"Yes."
"But the Luo Family should be more reliable than the Tang Family." Luo Jiachi was confident in the Luo Family's strength and family background.
Shao Tianze agreed, "Of course."
In terms of financial resources, the Luo Family was naturally better than the Tang Family.
Although the Luo Family couldn't compare with the three big families in Harbor City, it was much stronger than the Tang Family in Yuncheng.
However, he didn't understand. The Shao Family and the Luo Family in Harbor City had never had any contact. Why did the Luo Family in Harbor City call to ask for a marriage alliance with the Shao Family?
This was really strange.
Therefore, he had to think about it carefully.
"When is Mr. Shao going to reply to me?"
Old Master Luo wanted to know the exact time.
Shao Tianze thought for a moment and said, "Give me two days to think about it."
"Isn't Miss Shao Xue living in the Shao Family? You just need to ask Miss Shao's opinion. It's just a matter of ten minutes, isn't it? "
Old Master Luo spoke bluntly.
Shao Tianze laughed, "Although it's only a matter of ten or eight minutes, a lifetime is long. It's not long to think about it for two or three days."
"My grandson doesn't know your sister, but I hope to find a sensible wife for him. Your sister is a particularly suitable candidate."
Although Luo Jiachi had made it clear why he chose Shao Xue.
But Shao Tianze still didn't believe it easily.
He said, "There are so many young ladies in Harbor City. How did you know my sister?"
"I didn't know your sister first. I knew the Shao enterprise first."
Hearing this, Shao Tianze couldn't help but frown slightly.
He didn't pay attention to Shao Xue first. He paid attention to the Shao enterprise first.
If that was the case, things would be much more complicated.
"I wonder if Mr. Shao would like to be a friend of the Luo Family?"
The meaning of Old Master Luo's words was obvious, and his friendly attitude was even more straightforward.
Now the Shao Family was in a dangerous dilemma. The Lu Family and the Song Family were attacking from both sides. When he planned to marry Shao Xue off, he was also carefully considering the possibility of a marriage alliance.
However, it could be said that there was no suitable candidate in Yuncheng after all.
It was either those who were cunning and swayed with the wind or those who only took advantage of others but did not do anything practical.
He was really afraid that when he married his sister, she would not get any help.
Now Old Master Luo called in person, so he could consider it.
After all, Old Master Luo couldn't go back on his words. Moreover, Shao Xue had no connection with the Luo Family. It could be concluded that Old Master Luo called purely because he wanted to cooperate with the Shao Family.
In other words, he wanted to help the Shao Family when it was in crisis and get some benefits from it.
Sometimes, the relationship of interests was much more stable than the relationship of feelings.
Shao Tianze had begun to incline to marry Shao Xue off to the Luo Family, but he didn't reply to Old Master Luo as soon as possible.
Old Master Luo was not an impatient person. After explaining his purpose, he said, "Then I'll wait for your news, Mr. Shao."
"OK."
"Mr. Shao, you should think about it quickly. Otherwise, my disobedient eldest grandson will get me into trouble after knowing that I'm going to arrange a marriage for him."
"Don't worry. I'll discuss it with Shao Xue."
Hearing Shao Tianze's reply, Old Master Luo was satisfied. He nodded and hung up the phone with Shao Tianze politely.
After hanging up the phone, Shao Tianze was silent for a moment. Then he went out of the study, took his coat, and was about to go out.
Shao Xue was playing building blocks with Miaomiao in the living room.
Seeing Shao Tianze going out with a coat in his hand, Shao Xue felt strange, "Brother, are you going out?"
"It's an emergency."
"Aren't you going to have dinner?" Shao Xue asked.
Shao Tianze said, "No. You and Miaomiao eat first. Don't wait for me tonight. I may be back very late."
Hearing Shao Tianze's words, Shao Xue nodded, "I see."
Shao Xue watched Shao Tianze go out of the house, and her eyes became slightly sarcastic.
Originally, Shao Tianze should have discussed the marriage with her. However, after receiving the call from the Luo Family, Shao Tianze went to discuss it with Gu Changle.
It was really chilling.
Shao Xue clenched her fingers slightly.
Miaomiao was still piling up building blocks. Seeing Shao Xue's eyes on the door, she asked curiously, "Aunt, what are you looking at?"
Hearing Miaomiao's voice, Shao Xue came to herself and smiled, "Nothing."
Although Miaomiao still felt that Shao Xue had something on her mind, she didn't ask further.
…
On the way to the hospital, Shao Tianze was still thinking about the pros and cons of marrying Shao Xue to the Luo Family.
He couldn't make the decision himself, and it was not appropriate to discuss it with Shao Xue immediately.
It was better to discuss it with Gu Changle first and see what Gu Changle thought before discussing it with Shao Xue.
When Shao Tianze arrived at the hospital ward, it was past seven o 'clock in the evening.
Gu Changle's sulk had just subsided when she saw Shao Tianze pushing the door open and coming in.
Gu Changle's face lit up. However, thinking of the small conflict between Shao Tianze and Shao Tianze because of Shao Xue's blind date, the expression on her face immediately became cold.
Seeing the change of expression on her face, Shao Tianze coaxed her, "What? Are you still angry with me?"
Hearing Shao Tianze's words, Gu Changle turned her head and looked out of the window, "How can I be angry with you?"
It was obvious that her words were sarcastic.
Shao Tianze also knew Gu Changle's temperament. He sat on the edge of the bed, took her hand, and said, "Well, don't be angry. Shao Xue will get married sooner or later. I just want her to marry a man who is useful to us."
Hearing this, Gu Changle's tone became sour again, "Aren't you reluctant to let her go?"
"Why would I be reluctant to let her go? You are the only one I can't bear to let go. "
Hearing Shao Tianze's words, Gu Changle's expression became a little happier.
She turned her head and looked at Shao Tianze, "Why are you back?"
Shao Tianze said, "After I got home, I received a call from Luo Jiachi."
Gu Changle was not particularly familiar with the situation and the distribution of forces in Harbor City. Hearing Shao Tianze mention Luo Jiachi, she was also confused, "Who is Luo Jiachi?"
"Don't you know the Luo Family in Harbor City?"
Gu Changle shook her head, "No."
As long as it was not Gu Changge who often talked about it, she didn't know. Most of what she knew about Harbor City came from Gu Changge.
Shao Tianze also knew that Gu Changle didn't know much about Harbor City, so he said, "A much better family than the Tang Family."
Hearing this, Gu Changle understood. She thought quickly and asked him, "You mean, the Luo Family intends to marry Shao Xue?"
"Yes." Shao Tianze nodded.
Gu Changle frowned, "Is there anyone in the Luo Family who is the same age as Shao Xue?"
She hoped that the man in the Luo Family who wanted to marry Shao Xue was a man who was dozens of years older than Shao Xue. In that case, Shao Xue would not be able to make any waves in her life.
However, Shao Tianze's answer made her feel disappointed in the next second.
"The eldest grandson of Luo Jiachi is 23 years old this year, the same age as Shao Xue. He is also a good-looking man."
Gu Changle frowned tightly.
She couldn't bear to see Shao Xue marry a man who was good in every aspect.
"The Luo Family is in Harbor City. How does he know Shao Xue?" Gu Changle wanted to find a way to stop Shao Xue from marrying him.
Shao Tianze said, "Whether the Luo Family is in Harbor City or Yuncheng, he now has the power to help our Shao Family. If Shao Xue can marry into the Luo Family, our Shao Family will get help from the Luo Family, which will solve many problems."
Shao Tianze was thoughtful and hoped to get help from the Luo Family.
However, Gu Changle was dissatisfied in her heart, "Luo Jiachi is so supportive of his eldest grandson. Will his grandson really listen to him and marry Shao Xue?"
"Luo Jiachi has been in charge of the Luo Family for decades. This should be arranged."
"Are you going to let Shao Xue marry into the Luo Family?"
Gu Changle asked Shao Tianze.
Shao Tianze smiled, "This is a big deal. I think I should discuss it with you and see what your opinion is."
Gu Changle was a little unhappy, "No matter what my opinion is, you will not refuse the Luo Family for me, will you?"
"Not really."
